Faarfannaa 22
1 Dura Buʼaa Faarfattootaatiif. Yeedaloo “Borofa Ganamaa” jedhu. Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqa ko, yaa Waaqa ko, ati maaliif na dhiifte? Ati na gargaaruu irraa, iyya koo irraas maaliif akkas fagaatta?
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Doe of the Dawn.” A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Why are You so far from saving me, so far from my words of groaning?
2 Yaa Waaqa ko, ani guyyaa guyyaa sittin iyyadha; ati garuu deebii naaf hin deebiftu; halkan halkanis afaan hin qabadhu.
I cry out by day, O my God, but You do not answer, and by night, but I have no rest.
3 Ati garuu Qulqullicha teessoo irra taaʼuu dha; ati galata Israaʼel.
Yet You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.
4 Abbootiin keenya si amanatan; isaan si amanatan; atis isaan oolchite.
In You our fathers trusted; they trusted and You delivered them.
5 Isaan sitti iyyatan; ni fayyifamanis; si amanatan; hin qaanofnes.
They cried out to You and were set free; they trusted in You and were not disappointed.
6 Ani garuu raammoodha malee nama miti; ani nama namni itti qoosuu fi sabnis tuffatuu dha.
But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by men and despised by the people.
7 Warri na argan hundinuu natti kolfu; mataa isaanii raasanii na arrabsu.
All who see me mock me; they sneer and shake their heads:
8 Akkanas jedhu; “Inni Waaqayyoon amanata; mee Waaqayyo isa haa oolchu kaa. Inni waan isatti gammaduuf, isa haa oolchu.”
“He trusts in the LORD, let the LORD deliver him; let the LORD rescue him, since He delights in him.”
9 Ati garuu gadameessa keessaa na baafte; harma haadha koo irrattis, situ nagaan na eege.
Yet You brought me forth from the womb; You made me secure at my mother’s breast.
10 Ani gaafan dhaladhee jalqabee sirratti nan gatame; erga haati koo na deessee jalqabdee ati Waaqa koo ti.
From birth I was cast upon You; from my mother’s womb You have been my God.
11 Ati narraa hin fagaatin; rakkinni dhiʼaateeraatii; namni na gargaarus hin jiru.
Be not far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help.
12 Korommiin baayʼeen na marsu; korommiin Baashaan jajjaboonis karaa hundumaan na marsu.
Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.
13 Isaanis akka leenca beelaʼee aaduu afaan isaanii balʼisanii natti banatu.
They open their jaws against me like lions that roar and maul.
14 Ani akkuma bishaaniitti nan dhangalaafame; lafeen koo hundinuus wal gad dhiise. Onneen koo gara gagaatti geeddarame; na keessattis baqe.
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are disjointed. My heart is like wax; it melts away within me.
15 Jabinni koo akka qiraacii goge; arrabni koo laagaatti na maxxane; awwaara duʼaa keessas na ciibsite.
My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You lay me in the dust of death.
16 Saroonni na marsaniiru; gareen namoota hamoo na marseera; isaanis harkaa fi miilla koo waraananii fullaasaniiru.
For dogs surround me; a band of evil men encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet.
17 Ani lafee koo hunda lakkaaʼuu nan dandaʼa; isaanis ija babaasanii na ilaalu; akkas taʼuu koottis ni gammadu.
I can count all my bones; they stare and gloat over me.
18 Isaan wayyaa koo hiratan; uffata koottis ixaa buufatan.
They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing.
19 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati garuu narraa hin fagaatin; yaa Jabina koo na gargaaruuf ariifadhu.
But You, O LORD, be not far off; O my Strength, come quickly to help me.
20 Lubbuu koo goraadee jalaa, jireenya koo immoo humna sarootaa jalaa baasi.
Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of wild dogs.
21 Afaan leencaa jalaa na miliqsi; gaanfa gafarsaa jalaas na baasi.
Save me from the mouth of the lion; at the horns of the wild oxen You have answered me!
22 Maqaa kee obboloota kootti nan labsa; waldaa keessattis sin jajadha.
I will proclaim Your name to my brothers; I will praise You in the assembly.
23 Isin warri Waaqayyoon sodaattan isa jajadhaa! Isin sanyiin Yaaqoob hundinuu isa ulfeessaa! Sanyiin Israaʼel hundinuus isa sodaadhaa!
You who fear the LORD, praise Him! All descendants of Jacob, honor Him! All offspring of Israel, revere Him!
24 Inni dhiphina nama dhiphatee hin tuffanne yookaan hin balfineetii; yommuu inni gargaarsaaf isatti iyyatettis, ni dhagaʼeef malee fuula isaa hin dhokfanne.
For He has not despised or detested the torment of the afflicted. He has not hidden His face from him, but has attended to his cry for help.
25 Galanni ani yaaʼii guddaa irratti siif galchu si biraa dhufa; warra si sodaatan durattis wareega koo of irraa nan baasa.
My praise for You resounds in the great assembly; I will fulfill my vows before those who fear You.
26 Hiyyeeyyiin nyaatanii quufu; warri Waaqayyoon barbaaddatanis isa ni jajatu; garaan keessan bara baraan haa jiraatu!
The poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the LORD will praise Him. May your hearts live forever!
27 Handaarri lafaa hundinuu ni yaadata; gara Waaqayyoottis ni deebiʼa; maatiiwwan sabootaa hundinuus fuula isaa duratti ni sagadu;
All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD. All the families of the nations will bow down before Him.
28 mootummaan kan Waaqayyootii; innis saboota hunda ni bulcha.
For dominion belongs to the LORD and He rules over the nations.
29 Sooreyyiin lafaa hundinuu ni nyaatu; ni waaqeffatus; warri of jiraachisuu hin dandeenye kanneen biyyoo seenan hundi fuula isaa duratti ni jilbeenfatu.
All the rich of the earth will feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before Him— even those unable to preserve their lives.
30 Dhaloonni dhufu isa tajaajila; dhaloota boriittis waaʼeen Gooftaa ni himama.
Posterity will serve Him; they will declare the Lord to a new generation.
31 Sababii inni waan kana hojjeteef, isaan saba dhalachuuf jirutti qajeelummaa isaa ni labsu.
They will come and proclaim His righteousness to a people yet unborn— all that He has done.
